#8 RSS Feeds

I have found this week the hardest and I really don't like not knowing what I'm doing! It is frustrating feeling so unsure about this weird and wonderful world of RSS and newsreaders. It seems like Really Simple Syndication feeds can be a really useful way to sort your access to current information. I set up a bloglines account with a few feeds about the book world and I really like the shifted librarian and unshelved. I also realised I didn't need too many feeds as there isn't enough time to read everything I have access too! Not only is there my email to read but also my bloglines account and journal alerts and professional reading for work and all the great new books I have reserved or that pass me on the returns trolleys and the weekend papers and my subscriptions to Donna Hay, Home Beautiful and Better Homes and Gardens!
And now there is my blog and all the other interesting blogs I want to read...

Hi sblog,

I totally agree about the information overload - it's a case of having to be really discerning about what you read and don't read nowadays. So many books so little time...... you may enjoy checking out the Edward Gorey t shirt line at this link....
